U+12F9F "𒾟" Cypro-Minoan Sign Cm019 Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𒾟

U+12F9F "𒾟" Cypro-Minoan Sign Cm019 is a logographic or syllabic sign from the undeciphered Cypro-Minoan script, a writing system used on the island of Cyprus during the Late Bronze Age, roughly between 1550 and 1050 BCE. This sign is one of many that scholars have cataloged from inscriptions found on clay tablets, cylinders, and other artifacts, and its specific phonetic or semantic value remains unknown due to the lack of a bilingual text or a complete decipherment. As part of the Cypro-Minoan block added to Unicode in 2020 with version 13.0, this character aids researchers and digital humanists in accurately representing ancient texts for study and preservation, linking modern scholarship to a mysterious writing system that preceded the later Cypriot syllabary used for ancient Greek.
